capo 3
[VERSE 1]
D Em G
My knuckles were bruised like violets
D D
Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
Em G
Spineless in my tomb of silence
D D
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
Em G
And maybe it was egos swinging
D
Maybe, it was her
D Em G D
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[CHORUS]
C
All that blood shed, crimson clover
G
Uhuh, sweet dream was over
Em D
My hand was the one you reached for
C
All throughout the Great War
G
Always remember uhuh, tears on the lett?r
Em D
I vowed not to cry anymore
D
If we survived th? Great War
[VERSE 2]
Em G
You drew up some good faith treaties
D D
I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
Em G
You said I have to trust more freely
D D
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
Em G
And maybe it's the past that's talking
D
Screaming from a crypt
D Em G
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
D
So I justified it
[CHORUS]
C
All that blood shed, crimson clover
G
Uhuh, the bombs were close and
Em D
My hand was the one you reached for
C
All throughout the Great War
G
Always remember uhuh, the burning embers
Em D
I vowed not to fight anymore
C
If we survived th? Great War
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
C G Em D
Uh-huh Uh-huh
[BRIDGE]
Am G
It turned into something bigger
Em D Am
Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed
G
Your finger on my hair pin triggers
Em D Am
Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honour and truth
G Em
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
D Am
That was the night I nearly lost you
G Em D
I really thought I lost you
[VERSE 3]
D Em G
We can plant a memory garden
D D
Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
Em G
There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
D
And we will never go back
[CHORUS]
C
To that blood shed, crimson clover
G
Uhuh, the worst was over
Em D
My hand was the one you reached for
C
All throughout the Great War
G
Always remember uhuh, we're burned for better
Em D
I vowed I would always be yours
C
Cause we survived th? Great War
G Em
Uhuh, uhuh
D
I will always be yours
C
'Cause we survived the Great War
G
Uhuh
Em D
I vowed I will always be yours
